Pilot Flying J, Haslam's truck stop company that's in the midst of an FBI investigation for alleged fraud, has sent checks to trucking companies shorted on rebates, AP reports.

Center Maurkice Pouncey apologized on Monday after he and his brother were photographed last weekend wearing "Free Hernandez" caps. "I fully recognize the seriousness of the situation involving my former teammate, and I regret that my actions appear to make light of that serious situation. I apologize to anyone who was offended by my actions," Pouncey wrote.

Pouncey, on whether he needs to become a more vocal leader this season: "I think so. We had a lot of key guys in the past that did a great job of being leaders, but I think it’s my turn to step up and handle that job this year."

The Steelers, valued at $1.1 billion, were ranked No. 23 on Forbes' list of the world's 50 most valuable sports franchises.
